Acerca de esta escucha
Meet Edgar and Allan Poe - 12-year-old identical twins, the great-great-great-great-grandnephews of Edgar Allan Poe. They look and act so much alike that they're almost one mischievous, prank-playing boy in two bodies.
When their beloved black cat, Roderick Usher, is kidnapped and transported to the Midwest, Edgar and Allan convince their guardians that it's time for a road trip. Along the way, mayhem and mystery ensue, as well as deeper questions: What is the boys' telepathic connection? Is Edgar Allan Poe himself reaching out to them from the Great Beyond? And why has a mad scientist been spying on the Poe family for years?
With a mix of literary humor, mystery, and a little quantum physics, this series opener is a perfect choice for smart, funny tweens who love the Time Warp Trio, Roald Dahl, and Lemony Snicket.

In a big abandoned house on a barren hill lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit, The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.

Young widow Penelope Thornton-McClure and her old Aunt Sadie are making ends meet by managing a mystery book shop - a quaint Rhode Island landmark rumored to be haunted. Pen may not believe in ghosts, but she does believe in good publicity - like nabbing Timothy Brennan for a book signing. But soon after the bestselling thriller writer reveals a secret about the store's link to a 1940s murder, he keels over dead - and right in the middle of the store's new community events space. Who gives Mrs. McClure the first clue that it was murder?

"Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?" Dozens of children respond to this peculiar ad in the newspaper and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers take along with them. Only four children—two boys and two girls—succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules.

Abby Carnelia is an average sixth grader. She gets along okay with her parents, does pretty well in school, and has an annoying little brother. There’s absolutely nothing remarkable about her at all — that is, until the day when she happens to tug on her earlobes while standing in front of a hard-boiled egg. That’s the day Abby discovers there’s something very, very special about her after all: she has a magical power, and there are some people who will do anything to find out where it came from.

Expert Sherlockians Laurie King and Leslie Klinger put forth the question: What happens when great writers/creators who are not known as Sherlock Holmes devotees admit to being inspired by Conan Doyle stories? While some are highly regarded mystery writers, others are best known for their work in the fields of fantasy or science fiction. All of these talented authors, however, share a great admiration for Arthur Conan Doyle and his greatest creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Fletcher Moon has never been like other kids. For one thing, he has had to suffer the humiliating nickname "Half Moon" because of his short stature. But the real reason Fletcher is different is that ever since he was a baby, he's had a nose for sniffing out mysteries. And let's just say, it's not a skill that has been appreciated by many people, including his own family.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Tell-Tale Start to be better than the print version?
Not sure as listening is always fun but as I would rate this a good book for adolescent readers then for them, reading a book might be best.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Tell-Tale Start?
Love in injection of the real Poe into the plot and the ways he tried to communicate with the twins.Which character – as performed by Arte Johnson – was your favorite?
I liked them all, Arte Johnson did a fine job of telling a tale!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could have and for long car rides it is perfect as the plot is not so complex that it distracts us from driving but is entertaining enough to make the long hours of driving much more enjoyablePoe Fans are in for a Treat

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, because it is funny and interesting. The author is good with description and has enough detail for a 9 yr. old kid like me.What other book might you compare The Tell-Tale Start to and why?
I can't compare the book to any other one. I have never read any book about two brothers who are very connected to each other but if I have to I would say "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain because it is about two boys who find a treasure and capture a criminal (Injun Joe) just like Edgar and Allan do. Also Tom and Huckleberry Finn are very alike kind of Edgar and Allan except without connected minds.Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was when the bullys went in the basement and got all scared because of all the scary traps and sounds.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but I read it before listening.Any additional comments?
Written by a 9 year old boy on his grandmas computer with permission :DFunny story of 2 kids with connected minds!
